Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
Image
No concept is a carrier of life.
Carl Jung

His retreat into himself is not a final renunciation of the world, but a search for quietude, where alone it is possible for him to make his contribution to the life of the community.
Carl Jung
Image
No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure, a thing that has become for him a source of life, meaning, and beauty, and that has given a new splendor to the world and to mankind.
Carl Jung
